I just noticed the alert in Google Calendar saying “New: Sports Calendars.” I gave it a look-see, but decided to stick with the iCal (.ics) format that I already added manually. In the image below, the red is the iCal format I already had for the Ohio State football schedule, and green is the new Sports Calendar version from Google.
Google vs. iCal
The little football icon is cool, but otherwise I think the title offers too much information, cluttering things up and chopping off text. I already know the Buckeyes are playing in the game as that’s the point of the calendar. All I need to know is who they are playing, where, and when. What TV network I can watch it on would be nice too though.
